Parliament Buildings

Just outside the old city walls stands the imposing 19th-century
Parliament Building, inspired by the Louvre in Paris and designed
by the architect, Eugene Etienne Taché. Although it is the
working home of the 125-strong National Assembly, the buildings are
open to visitors for free guided tours, offered in English or
French, which highlight the historic value of the unique building
as well as informing visitors about the organisation and
proceedings of the Québec National Assembly. Tours should be
organised in advance for groups of 10 or more. There is a
restaurant and a gift shop at the Parliament Building.
